Citation management tools such as Zotero, RefWorks, EndNote and Mendeley can help you to store the citations you find during your research. They all make it incredibly easy to format a reference/works cited list. Which is best for you? This workshop will provide a brief overview of each tool so you can be aware of your options before deciding what tool is best for you.

Locating the full-test of interview schedules, tests, scales, or measurements can be a very tricky task! This workshop will cover the best practices on how to locate or identify: 1) Known "unpublished" tests, scales, and measurements 2) Known "published tests, scales and measurements 3) Relevant and reputable tests and measurements for your research question 4)Validity and reliability of tests, scales, and measurements.

Digital text analysis creates opportunities for distant reading that discern patterns of word frequency, word collocations, and the emergence of new words, as a few examples. Participants in the workshop will receive an overview of digital text analysis concepts and terminology, as well as strategies for undertaking straightforward teaching assignments that incorporate accessible digital tools.

Zotero is a free tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share information. We will also consider it as a tool for long-term research data management. In this workshop we will install Zotero, add sources to a library, create a bibliography in the citation style of your choice, and learn the basics of organizing and managing research sources as data for the long-haul. This workshop may be recorded and shared afterwards.

Can your readers reproduce your literature search? The literature search is the core methodology for a systematic review. Transparency and reproducibility are necessary to assess bias and reduce duplicative research. However, estimates of search “reproducibility” of a search range from .004% to 14% of published systematic reviews. PRISMA-S, which builds on the PRISMA reporting guideline, was created to help librarians, information specialists, and systematic reviewers transparently report searches.

As of 2016, most NIH and AHRQ research grant applications are required to comply with the NIH Policy on Rigor and Reproducibility. In addition to federal funders, many publishers are also now requiring "Reproducibility Guidelines". In this workshop we will provide a brief overview of best practices in reproducibility including creating unique identifiers, file naming, and general guidelines put forth by medical and science academic publishers. We will also show some of the tools available to help you meet these new guidelines.
